    Evening all.

    Grey and wet here again today and noticeably chilly. Nearly the end of January and lights not on until nearly 5 this evening.

    Heading off to bed but first some quick pleasures:

    1) Saw eldest grandson briefly when he cadged a lift to the station, back to Uni city for the night as playing in a football match tomorrow. Still expect a little boy to come in but he's all grown up now, still gorgeous though!

    2) Staircase building is in its second week, the banging and drilling goes on. They've set up a gazebo outside so can cut wood eventhough it's raining. Staircase is taking shape nicely, will be a thing of beauty when finished.

    3) Caved in and got a quote to get decorators in. We need a refresh after six years and, willing though hubby is, it's too much for us now - well, we could do it if we had to but we don't have to any more. They come recommended and are more reasonable that I thought so just waiting for a start date and will go for tester pots tomorrow as I fancy a change.

    4) Yummy lamb shanks and minted gravy for tea.

    5) Monday quizzes, didn't do too badly tonight between us.

    Hoping for a better night's sleep now I can breathe a bit better. Night night, sleep tight.
